Social Anxiety Disorder

Also known as social phobia, social anxiety, fear of social situations, social nervousness

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is a chronic mental health condition characterised by intense fear of social situations, judgement, and humiliation, affecting roughly 7% of adults globally. It is thought to arise from a combination of genetic predisposition, overactive amygdala response, and environmental stressors such as childhood trauma or bullying. Many people seek natural alternatives to SSRIs and benzodiazepines due to concerns about side effects, dependency, or simply a preference for holistic approaches.
